Journeys Home 2 gathers together more conversion stories of men and women, clergy and laity, who found themselves drawn to the Catholic Church. Most discovered and placed their faith in Jesus Christ in non-Catholic traditions of Christianity. They remain eternally grateful to the many faithful teachers, friends, and family who helped them know Christ and grow in the Christian faith. Yet in each case and in unique ways, the Holy Spirit opened their hearts to realize that much of what they had been taught about the Catholic Church was never true. They learned to listen to the voice of truth speaking through history, theology, philosophy, Sacred Tradition, Holy Scripture, and personal testimony. In time, their desire to follow Christ faithfully — to remain faithful to the truth He taught and to the Church He established through His Apostles — led them to consider the claims of the Catholic Church. In the end, they were all convinced that, whatever the cost, they must become Catholic. And so they did. Their conversion stories provide insight, encouragement, and inspiration for those who are thinking about making the same journey — and for Catholics born in the faith as well.

Reviews:

"As a convert myself I found these stories fascinating. There are two important reasons you should read these as well. First, converts are witnesses to the faith. They have studied the Catholic faith and discovered a rich tradition that convinced them the Catholic Church was the church founded by Christ. Their reasons for converting really solid examples that even cradle Catholics can read and use to fortify their own beliefs. Secondly, you may know someone who is going through the very same inquisitive phase about Catholicism. The witness of the fifty-nine converts who tell their stories in these two books can be powerful evangelization tools."
